Dear friends.

Can u Please tell me what happens during medical check-up??? what they do and what tests are performed and what shots are given? My wife is very nervous she has it on 11th november. i myself dont know anything about it. would really like to know.

any complications if she had C-section in the past?

Thanks.

I am not a medical person but they are checking to ensure your wife is basically healthy. It pretty basic but complete exam much like an annual physical. I have not had one but would guess they will take vitals, do blood work, urine analysis, Visual body examination so your wife will have all parts examined or looked at. They will take chest X-ray also. C Sections does not matter at all. That is a procedure and not communicable. With regards to shots it will depend on what your wife has been inoculated with already. She should take her shot record with her. You can go to the CDC and see what shots are required. Do a search on your wife's country for medicals and see what other VJer have experienced. Hope this helps. Edited by TomD

VISA APPROVED :dance:

Got to the USEM at 12:00 went through security. Got a number and waited about 20 minutes got called to window 9.

The pre screen lady was awsome we have three files so mounds of paperwork was enormous. it took her about 40 minutes with us standing at the window to go through all the documents. She was very friendly and had alot of conversation with my wife.

She asked the normal questions when did you meet, how many times I had been in CR, has my wife ever been to the US. She said have a seat and we will be called, sat there about 20 minutes and got called to do the fingerprints, this took about 2 minutes to complete and the lady said please have a seat again.

We sat about 20 more minutes and got called to the window by the CO he asked my wife to swear everything is the truth and asked her to sign part 2 of the DS-230.

He looked at me and asked are you the petitioner I said yes he asked me what do I do for a living, I answered he then said you can pick up the visas tomorrow at 3pm. I was in shock he didnt ask my wife one question, didnt look at any evidence not one photo nothing.

I thought this was strange so I said "so there approved" his reply was "of course why not". I couldnt believe it not one question.

The experience was great not one problem and the people in the USEM were a pleasure. We were in and out in about 2 hours total. :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

wow congrats to everyone and including I&G. So many people have had their interviews already and most have got approved, and gives me hope for my husband. Lucky those people that are done with all this journey, I still have to wait until the 23rd, god hopefully will help me and everyone else. Congrats one more time to everyone and happy reunions to all the families.

Thanks.

There is a list of approved doctors on the Islamabad consulate web site, that you can get. And then call the doctor in your city to find out in advance. Well today is the 10th, but call today if you can.

Can I ask how long did it take from the time NVC approved your case till your interview ? I am trying to forecast my dates.

Thanks
